Advanced Assessment in Respiratory Nursing

This micro-credential is for healthcare professionals who are enthusiastic about professional development and adding to their repertoire of knowledge and skills for clinical practice. It is relevant to any healthcare professional in clinical practice wishing to develop competency and expand their knowledge in the application of advanced health and physical assessment. This cohort includes nurses; midwives; paramedics and other allied healthcare professionals who require this module to allow for the expansion of their practice. Advanced health and assessment practice allows healthcare professionals to develop the cognitive, affect and psychomotor domains associated with the delivery of advance health to patients.You will learn the importance of history taking, systems for physical assessment and how the synthesis of these components will assist with diagnostic reasoning. Undertaking this micro-credential will support you in developing the knowledge, skills, and competence to contribute to the improving workflow of the patients journey by presenting and communicating the holistic patient assessment to other members of the healthcare team.How will this Micro-credential be delivered?This micro-credential is delivered using a blended learning approach (in-person/online):<ul><li>Lectures will be delivered in 3 in-person days and 4 online days (full day).</li><li>Online lectures will be available live or as pre-recorded sessions.</li></ul>

Advancing Health and Assessment Practice for Healthcare Practitioners

Globally, there is an increasing trend in the prevalence of cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic disease which places a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Engaging in healthy lifestyle behaviours such as regular physical activity or a balanced diet can help to reduce the risk of developing these chronic non-communicable diseases. However, most adults are insufficiently active and the rates of obesity are rising across countries. Thus, understanding how to support people to successfully change their behaviour is becoming increasingly important for healthcare professionals in dealing with this key public health challenge. The Advancing Healthcare: Behaviour Change Principles for Healthy Living micro-credential has been developed to provide healthcare professionals with an understanding of how to apply the science of behaviour change to facilitate individuals to initiate and sustain healthy lifestyle behaviours. This micro-credential will enable learners to recognise the factors that influence behaviour, and how they can use behaviour change theories and techniques to develop interventions focused at the individual and group levels. Learner will also develop knowledge of the communication skills needed to support client behaviour change and recognise how technology can be used to facilitate healthy lifestyles.

ADVANCING HEALTHCARE: BEHAVIOUR CHANGE PRINCIPLES FOR HEALTHY LIVING

Regular physical activity is integral for our health and is considered one of the most modifiable risk factors of chronic non-communicable disease (NCD). To combat the current trend of inactivity and the prevalence of chronic disease, essential knowledge of the principles behind physical activity promotion and exercise prescription and their associated health benefits is required among practicing healthcare professionals (HCPs). Equally important is understanding how to implement these lifestyle changes in a sustainable manner to empower individuals to adopt active lives. The Advancing Healthcare: Exercise Prescription micro-credential is designed to upskill HCPs in their understanding of safe, effective, evidence-based exercise prescription. This includes understanding when the prescription of exercise is safe and appropriate, and identifying when medical reviews are necessary for individuals deemed at risk of having an adverse experience from physically exercising. The micro-credential will prepare learners to conduct screening, risk stratification, and appropriate health and functional assessments prior to creating evidence-based exercise programmes. It will also outline referral pathways to quality, safe, and effective supervised exercise opportunities for individuals living with established NCD.

Nutrition is fundamental to our physical and mental health, and wellbeing. The Advancing Healthcare: Optimising Nutrition micro-credential will introduce healthcare professionals (HCPS) to key, evidenced-based, nutrition concepts across the lifespan. It will enhance knowledge and ability to provide safe, basic nutritional advice and awareness about screening and referrals in situations requiring more specialist interventions. In Ireland, it is estimated that one quarter of the population are affected by cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic disease, with two thirds of the population living with overweight or obesity. Globally, a poor diet is one of the leading risk factors for preventable diseases. Most non-nutrition HCPs will come into contact with individuals and groups requiring guidance on optimal nutrition and/or cases requiring clinical nutrition input. HCPs will also play a key role in implementing and embedding integrated care programmes across the health services. This micro-credential will allow the learner to advance their knowledge of nutritional care to complement other approaches in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease and their complications. The learner will also develop skills that can support individuals to make meaningful dietary changes in their lives.
